Séjourné (b. 1961) is a French composer/percussionist and teaches at Conservatoire de Strasbourg
Robert Schumann called the fourth “a slender Greek maiden between two Norse giants” (the more ponderous 3rd and 5th symphonies)
“The four percussionists playing mostly marimbas will produce a very earthy/woody feel while the support from strings provides a smooth and lushy complement to the rhythmic feature. It will be a fresh and new experience for people.”
